Ahh, Look My Two Brother's Sharing Love and Admiration for others and theirs-ELVES!!!!


Love & Kisses to You Two!!!!

Dafermen...

thank you for your recent post...

As I requested about 5 times in my last email... I believe we need to discuss this OFF SITE! Everyone here has requested it... and therefore, I believe we should HONOR their requests.

I've said repeatedly I'm not angry.. would be nice if you could finally believe it...

The 5 questions I have put before you... are in an email that is approx. 18 emails prior to this one... I took a great deal of time to put them together... I also provided you my email... therefore, I'm thinking as a gentleman... you can go back and refer to those 5 questions... email to me... if you desire to do so.

In closing, I respectfully request you don't discuss this issue on the CE site, and therefore the CE membership doesn't have to filter this issue any further.

Also, in closing, I can't imagine anyone believing in a "Maria conspiracy" on this issue. Shocks me you even bring that up! I emailed Maria privately on this, and she can share that with you on private email response I"m sure.

Have a blessed day everyone......

Sigh.

The Buddhists say there are
8 winds:

gain & loss
praise & ridicule
credit & blame
suffering & joy

If you aren't aware of them,
they will blow you away
like dry leaves in
the autumn breeze.

For example,
when someone praises you,
and that taste is sweet,
like candy in your mouth
you are being blown away
by the wind of praise.

One day in ancient China,
a young man thought he had
become enlightened.
He wrote a poem to his master
about how he was not blown by the
8 winds.
Then he sent it to his master
who lived 300 miles
up the Yangtze River.

When his master read the poem,
he wrote, "Fart, Fart"
on the bottom
and sent it back.

The more the young man
read those words,
the more upset he got.

At last he decided to
visit his master.
In those days, a
300 mile trip up the
Yangtze River was a
very difficult journey.

As soon as he arrived,
he went straight to his master's
temple.
"Why did you write this?"
he asked, bowing.
"Doesn't this poem show
that I am no longer
blown about by the 8 winds?"

"You say that you are no longer
blown by the 8 winds,"
replied his master,
"but two little farts
blew you all the way
up here."

Oh Lisa! That made me laugh so hard!!! Thank you!

That was beautiful!!!!

Hi all,
to answer the original question: No, I don't think this site needs an increase of traffic.
It's just perfect the way it is. A lovely, cozy, not too big a place where people can come 'round and be themselves and share.
I don't need any artificial measures to make the site or its ideas more known. The ideas stand and speak for themselves - and those who feel attracted to it will come around. Just like in the almost 8 years I've been here.
If anything at all called for a change, it would be a restart of "metamorphosis".
Love,
Kitty

In the Spirit of Hopeful Calibration, Daf.

(calibration -- as in adjusting into harmony and balance).

That was funny, Lisa. Where did you read it?

Thanks Lisa!!!

Indeed.

There he be!

Rockin' on in truth.

Thank you Gregory! Thank you daf!

Maria

What a wise soul you are Greg, and your words will live on here at CE and on the WWW! Thanks for posting this here Daf.

Also, Kitty, I hear ya! Thanks for that response. I'm taking it all in.

And Lisa, the Buddhist master sounds just like my Carlos when he was playing on the earthly plains. One of his favorite sayings was "Life is a funny proposition." It sure is.

Maria

Always willing to lend a hand when I can, Maria.
I'm just having lots of personal things going on right now with the new job and the move to be planned and then done, plus relationship stuff - but when I can I'll be here and all too willing to discuss things.
Keep it going,
Kitty

I voted the same as Kitty did Maria.

Beautiful words from Greg.
